As global malaria mortality increases the urgency for vaccine development, analysis of
immune responses in naturally exposed populations is providing clues to the nature of
protective immunity. Recently, sophisicated immune evasion strategies adopted by the
parasite have been analysed at the molecular level. More immunogenic vaccination
strategies have been identified, providing renewed optimism that effective malaria control
through vaccination should be feasible.
